Thank you! I agree with Paul, especially after seeing these new pictures. This is no longer available. When we were manufacturing screens once upon a time, we used the 70-009 and ground down the ends to a point. However you seem to have a corrosion problem. Take a look at the 70-219, which is made of nylon. That might be a better choice.

Try spraying WD40 on the pins and letting it soak for an hour or two and then see if the pins will retract for you. Let us know how it goes. |

I would suggest again using a spray lubricant. Specifically, you want to spray into the pin hole to lubricate and loosen up the spring and pin. Then you would use a set of long nose pliers to pull the end of the pin. That should disengage the screen from the window frame. |

I've never heard of a plunger pin cap having to screw off to release. These are designed to allow you to simply pull the caps straight in to release the screen from the frame. If you've done that, and the screen still won't release, then they're either stuck or broken. Removal at this stage may be difficult. I would advise contacting a local professional to come out and look at your window to determine the source of the issue. |
